Sounds like something from a science fiction movie doesn’t it?  Welcome to the year 2010.

This great photo was snapped just a few seconds in to 2010 by Joanne Ottey, showing the fireworks coming off Sky Tower.

Happy 2010

I’m betting that by 2011 everyone will be saying ‘twenty-eleven’ – nothing ‘American’ about it – just rolls of the tongue easier. However, for the sake of argument, I might just be calling this year ‘one-score-and-ten’. 🙂

Great pic, looks like a palm tree! Hard to know how to say 2010, twenty ten sounds too American, two thousand and ten, i agree is too long winded.You have to concentrate when writing it too! Just for a laugh how about two o one o, or even two zero one zero. Don’t suppose it matters anyway as long as it’s a good year/decade for NZ!

Pronounced as “twenty-ten” rather not the longwinded two thousand and ten.
